Release Deviant

SloaneI'm
not proud of the things I've done.
The things I've had to do.
The things I've given away.
but I'd give it all over again to find her.Even if i die trying,
I have to find Alexis.

Zeth

She wants me to help her,
But I won't.
She wants me to save her sister,
But I can't.
She wants me to be her hero,
But I'm not a good man.

I am her damnation.

Excerpt

“You’re sick, you know that?” I say into the darkness. A soft
rustling sound greets me, followed by the shift of movement. Yes, the lights
are off but the corridor is lit behind me so it’s not like last time. I can see
enough to make out the looming figure that slowly paces toward me.

“I know I’m not normal, if that’s what you mean.” A terrible
devil’s mask appears before me, two feet away; Zeth is dressed entirely in
black, the suit he wears obviously a thing of beauty even in the half light.
His dark eyes shine from within the mask, sharp and hungry. “You’ve surprised
me, Sloane. I like being surprised,” he rumbles.

“Well you’ve surprised me, too. Although I can’t say the feeling
is mutual.”

He laughs, his voice so deep and powerful I can feel it in the
soles of my feet. “You should open up a little. You never know what you might
enjoy until you try it.”

“I know exactly what I enjoy, Zeth, and standing around
watching fifty naked people grind on each other isn’t it.”

The eyes behind his mask flicker with annoyance when I say his
name. He stalks toward me and reaches out, tracing his fingertips across my
jawline. He seems pensive, intrigued by my stillness—I can’t freaking move—as
he touches my skin.

Callie Hart is a bagel eating,
coffee drinking denizen of the greatest city on this earth. Born in Colorado,
she moved to The Big Apple to study and undertake the Bar exam, and in the
meantime she wrote this book! She lives on a ridiculously high floor in a
way-too expensive building with her fiancé and their pet goldfish, Neptune.
Deviant is the first instalment in her Blood and Roses series. The next
instalment, Fracture, is scheduled to be released in April.
